Just released online is the long-awaited 2.40 System Software Update for PlayStation 3 systems. This major update finally brings gamers access to the XMB while in-game and a trophies system that will allow gamers to win awards within certain games that will be displayed for other online gamers to see.
The addition of in-game XMB access also means that custom soundtracks are now possible within certain games, and that within all games users can pause and chat with friends without having to leave the game.
BD playback functionality has also received an improvement, in that SD content (480p) stored on Blu-ray discs will now be upscaled to the desired resolution, just as was previously done on DVDs.
Many other smaller improvements are also featured in the update including surround sound playback of music files, enhanced noise reduction options for videos played through the XMB and more.
The System Software upgrade can be updated from an internet-connected PS3 directly using the included software update feature or the update can be downloaded to a PC and transferred via memory card or USB drive by following the directions here (once posted).
